Careful, boy! You'll put your eye out with that thing!! (seriously)

Weight is only an ounce over a #14, less blade heavy than same, if you can believe that. But I never carry it anywhere and only use it for trenching in new waterlines, honest.

For the shiny new knives forever crowd, do not expect perfection, less so than even Randall, a true one man shop each made to order from scratch not appreciably better as for machined perfection appearance than the handful of makers were doing in 1968. As an fyi, it is why he parted ways with organized knifemaking early on, and turned in his ABS Master stamp and resigned Secretary position. He was all about affordable as possible functional tools and weapons while the hi-zoot museum work of art only for incredibly wealthy crowd was chomping at the bit and seeing gold in them thar hills. If you think his price is high now, keep in mind this man makes how many knives a month? At his absolute peak he could make a normal bowie in one week and a Hell's Belle in two weeks, and self employed entire life including insurance and social security contributions all on him.
